The work of retimbering the shaft Of
the Yuba mine will be commenced in
day or two, preparatory to starting up
mining operations in that mine. On the
9th level of the Yuba there is said to be
large body Of lead ore. containing
nothing refractory in regard to smelling.
1t strikes US that the parties interested
in this new venture stand good show
Of meeting with success, as the outlay
Of Preparing the shaft, hoisting engine,
etc., will be but few thousand at the
utmost. Years ago some very good ore
was extracted from the Yuba. In those
days the demand was for free milling
ores--lead ore was at discount. The
milling ore of the Yuba pinched out the
lead coming in, the mine was shut down
and eventually the shaft timbering below
the second level rotted and tumbled
down the shaft. filling it with debris.
The estimated cost Of rcftting the mine
ia somewhere about $4,000. Mr.. Sam
Godbe is to assume control-no better
man could be had.
The old Raymond 4 Ely Company's
Office at Bullionville, which has been
occupied Of late as dwelling by James

day. Mr.. Hulse had cooked his dinner
and absented himself from the premises

from spark flying out Of the stove to
the floor, . the wind was very high at
the time. The building, being wooden
one, went like finder. The entire lot
of household furniture, ETC., Of Mr..
Hulse was destroyed.
Mrs. Ole Olsen and her son Danny,
departed on to-day's stage for Salt Lake

many friends unite in wishing her Q
pleasant trip and successful future.
The ex.Professor Of the rod Of Sprinp
